The funny thing is that driving it around I get way fewer looks now (though they were all positive-type looks) than I got when it was black. The grey seems to act like an invisibility cloak...
Ha! An invisibility cloak from LEO would be sweet.
Not usually a fan of the matte look but this one does look rather nice. Hope it fares well against the city foxes.

Thanks. Seems to be fox-proof so far. Not stone-chip proof sadly, but easy enough to patch up by sticking another bit on top of the chip.

Plus I can change the colour of the car if the mood takes me, which, given the plan is to part with the key only when it is pried from my cold, dead hand, it just might

Looks just like a flat Agate! Nice solution to your fox problem.

Amazing to me how reasonably priced a full wrap has become, shows we're overpaying for front end protection. Local dealer quoted me $2200 for just the front end recently...

That Exige looks great. Yeah, pretty similar colour to mine.

Sure I could get it done somehow, but I'm kind of getting used to the lack. Gives a clean look to the back of the car, especially under the ducktail.
FYI 3M double sided tape (Grey stuff) will work on the matte wrap. Worked fine for me even after multiple washes
